Is that for installing only rpc.fedfsd? I guess that makes sense but AFAICS rpc.fedfsd doesn't actually depend on it. I can add it as a dependency if you believe it's needed? There's a bigger issue though and that is the break down of packages. You asked if we could have fedfs-utils install the cluster of sub-packages for simplicity. That is a good idea IMHO but while working on bug 889174 I noticed that to do that we would need to make the base package depend on almost all the sub-packages. The packaging guidelines specifically say if that's the case then the need for sub-packages should be re-considered. Some packages seem to have got away with creating a separate meta-package which depends on all or most of the packages in the cluster. I don't know how the maintainers got that by the packaging committee and I don't really think it's a good idea for us to try. Given the changes for bug 889174 have only recently been done it's probably not a good time to make such a fundamental packaging change. It's probably best done at the next source version update.

How about we find a home for the tarballs, like kernel.org, somewhere near the location of autofs seems sensible to me?
